Gestão em uma escola indígena no município de Rio Tinto-PB: perspectiva tradicional ou democrática

Abstract

This study consists of presenting some reflections on the management experienced at the Dr. José Lopes Ribeiro Indigenous Elementary and Secondary School, in Aldeia Monte-Mor, in the city of Rio Tinto, State of Paraíba. These initial reflections led us to the research problem: How does Management happen at the indigenous primary and secondary school Dr. José Lopes Ribeiro, located in Aldeia Monte Mor, in the municipality of Rio Tinto- PB? In this sense, the objectives were: General: Investigate the management experienced in an indigenous school located in the municipality of Rio Tinto-PB. Specific: characterize the indigenous school object of the study; analyze the management of the indigenous school considering the speech of its representatives: teachers, students and staff and the school's Pedagogical Political Project - PPP. In terms of theoretical foundations about school management, we worked with José Carlos Libâneo (2001), Vitor Páro (2013), Heloisa Luck (2002), Ilma Passos Veiga (1995) and about the theorists referring to reflections on indigenous peoples, we worked with Maria Aparecida Bergamasch, Sidnei Felipe da Silva, José Mateus Nascimento and Carlos Rodrigues Brandão, in addition to legislation pertinent to indigenous peoples. Regarding the methodological foundations, the research involves documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with professors, staff and students, followed by discourse analysis. Thus, through this work, it is possible to understand that school management, as well as the process of preparing the Pedagogical Political Project, are based on perspectives of still traditional management, but moving towards the construction of democratic management, because although there is an awareness of school subjects that their participation in the decision- making processes and in the elaboration and restructuring of the PPP is important, this occurs in a very timid way. Even so, there is a great interest in the interviewees' speech to guarantee an intercultural, specific and differentiated indigenous school education for the Potiguara indigenous community in Paraíba, which is today guaranteed by law, oriented to meet the concrete situations of the indigenous reality. , with the aim of autonomy, sustainability, politics, economy, territorial and cultural management of the Potiguaras of Paraíba.
